bush, in relation to hurricane katrina. >> lessons learned. katrina was a lesson throughout the federal government of what not to do, not just at the presidential level, but operationally well below the president. and even for the states, quite frankly. the governor and the mayor weren't shining examples of, you know, state control over that situation. so there was enough blame and mistake-prone action to look at and learn from, and obama is nothing if not a quick study in that regard and understanding and appreciating how to use the tools of this government at a time of crisis. now, we'll see. the expectation for the president is to do his job and to be on top of doing his job. so politically i don't know if there's a huge upside -- there's more of a downside risk than anything if there's a gaffe somewhere, if there's a mistake somewhere in the execution of responding to those in need, but i think this president has shown that his administration will be prepared for that because that's what people expect. >> karen, i was watching your facial

i don't think people blame george bush for katrina. they blame him for what happened after katrina. i think it's impossible to say and a fool's errand to say how this could be good for the president? how could this be good for romney? this storm is bad and how he handles it is how he'll handle it. >> cenk: the answer is policy. do we have the right policy in place or don't we. is it climate change or having enough for fema. we co going to climb change. it is causing more and more severe...

from katrina, more than 1,800 across five different states. but what differences do we see when it comes to the government response? msnbc's melissa harriet is here to sound off on that, melissa ferry and i won't even bring up the name isaac. leave that alone. >> that's right. >> if there are models to compare and contrast how we've seen responses from candy to katrina, there are vast differences. >> yeah. i think what we want to do is, for example, recognize the comparisons you just made in dollars from the size to katrina to the size of sandy, that's one thing. but 98 lives, 1,800 lives, every single life is deep and preci s precious. and now more and more of us who are affected by these sorts of disasters know that the human toll, the cost of it is enormous. so when we talk about disaster response, it's not just sort of dollars and cents. it's whether or not the choice is made by a mobilizing government, by mobilizing private interests can save one life, one life, one life. each of those things matters so much. and what we found in this cas

of course this will be about half of katrina's damage. and of course we know what katrina today and especially the new orleans area. so this is rare territory. and this was a category 1. at one time katrina a category 5. 3 at landfall. so just shows you what happens. even if it's a category 1, if you go in to a very populated area of the country is where this storm made landfall and that's why these numbers are astronomical for on the insurance industry. the loss is just insane. so the storm still lingers today. the damage is all done. a lot of the heavy snow is just about overwith. west virginia, some areas got two to three feet of snow. it remains kind of stuck, though, because the weather pattern that enabled this storm to come at us from the ocean, from the unusual direction, the high pressure, the blocking responsible for this mess is still sitting off the coast. it will take two or three days for the storm to slowly weaken and head up in to canada, but it's a cold morning for everyone without power. there is some of that snow still

this happened in katrina. there was some uncertainty about what caused a particular structural damage. in katrina you had all lots of houses and structures completely wiped off. the only thing left was a slab of concrete. and so, it was very difficult to determine whether the damage was caused by the wind associated with katrina or whether it was swept away by the storm surge. there was a lot of controversy about whether the damage was caused by wind or water. that's important. if it's caused by water, then the national flood insurance program picks up the tab. if wind, the private insurance market picks up that tab. this storm, i don't anticipate there being that much controversy surrounding this issue, partly because, based on the footage i have seen, there have not been the widespread slab properties at a total loss that katrina had. i think, in the storm we will have a better opportunity for the adjusters to come out and they use a very scientific process looking at the storms, looking at the actual damage
